    It's probably tough to get 25 deg by fan/fans in Singapore, without air conditioning helps.

    you can get the 25 deg at anywhere. all depends of the location where you put your tank.
    some of my friends tank with fan only manage to get 27-29 deg. maybe i am luckily, all of my tank temp with fan is 24.5-26 deg

    It will not. Fan can only reduce 2-4 degree from ambient temperature no matter how many fan you put on top.

    Deric, not true. I can get 25-27 deg also at night but it would not apply to everyone Since ambient temperature plays a key role.

    Someone I know from Aq, his house like sauna. He can only aim 28 with fan any lower is plus. Btw He is living ground level and me higher level (explains for my advantage. )

    Not true. That will depend on your ambient temperature, which depends on where you stay.

    My tanks are at ground floor of water catchment area in northern Singapore, ambient temperatures are usually 33 to 35, with the except of the monsoon season when temperatures are from 29 to 32.

    With all my tanks inside shade and rooms with little windows, I have trouble getting a temp of 28deg even with a chiller that kicks in every 40min. My tanks using fan are on average of 29 to 32 deg.

    Yes you are lucky to be able to get such low temperatures. Having said that, you already have an advantage over people like me.

    Ambient temp for today at home is 32! Hot season is coming back ):

    Re: What is your ambient water temperature?

    My ambient temp hovers around 30C. If you refer to my older posts, I had to deploy those kopi tiam fans to make my tank temp go down around 26-28 at the expense of a higher evaporation rate. And I lived on the third floor imagine the pain of topping up a small tank hahahaha

    hehe. use the fan to fan myself these kind of uncertain weather, the best is to use chiller already. (for my case anyways. Fan cannot help to cool down efficient enough )

    Re: What is your ambient water temperature?

    Would switching to LED lighting bring the temperature down even lower like say 24-25 degrees with just a fan?

    I'm using a 55W PL for a 2ft tank, temperature's like 26-27 degrees with fan.

    Re: What is your ambient water temperature?

    i assume you're relying on Singapore climate temperature to aim 24-25 ? i doubt so without fully air con, even you replace that with led.

    Re: What is your ambient water temperature?

    Unless it rains. If you want consistent temperature then buy chiller. Cold country buy heater. Worry less about temperature. Start worrying when it goes to 32DC. Achieving 26 to 27 is already very very good.
